Ring doorbell battery replacement instructions

Here’s a straightforward, step-by-step walkthrough for replacing your Ring Doorbell battery, which are brought to you by Accessories Mall. This method works for the majority of Ring’s battery,for example,operated doorbell models,also include the standard Video Doorbell, Doorbell 2, 3, 3 Plus, and 4—and we’ll highlight the small differences between specific models to make the process smooth and stress-free.

  • Take off the front-panel Grab the star-tip Ring security screwdriver that came with your doorbell. Unscrew the single security screw at the bottom of the device, then gently lift and pull the front-panel away from the main unit. Pro tip: Tuck the tiny screw somewhere safe right away—it’s super easy to misplace.
  • Take out the battery Press the black release tab on the battery pack, then slide the battery straight out of the doorbell housing. For models with a quick-release battery design, there’s no wiring to disconnect at all.
  • Charge the battery (or swap in a new one) Plug the battery into a USB charger using either a micro-USB or USB-C cable—this depends on which battery version your doorbell uses. A full charge typically takes 4 to 10 hours, and the LED light on the battery will show you its charging status:
    • Red/amber light = Charging in progress
    • Green light = Fully charged and ready to use If you have a spare battery on hand, pop the charged one in right away to avoid any downtime for your doorbell.
  • Put the battery back in Slide the charged (or new) battery back into the doorbell until you hear a firm click—this means it’s locked in place. Double-check it’s fully seated; a loose battery is one of the most common causes of the doorbell going offline unexpectedly
  • Reattach the front-panel Line up the front-panel with the doorbell housing and snap it back into position. Once it’s aligned properly, re-tighten the security screw at the bottom to secure it.
  • Check the doorbell is online Your Ring Doorbell will turn on automatically once the battery is in place. Open the Ring app on your phone to confirm two key things: the device status shows as Online, and the battery level is updating correctly on the app.
